Bulk cables: Oyaide vs Furutech

I would drop Chris VenHaus at VH Audio an e-mail. Great advice, selection and service.

I would also consider Neotech bulk AC cable.

I am using 3 factory cables from Oyaide and they are very good, I suspect the Furutech is as well. In my experience there is no method to tell in advance which will sound better in your system, assuming the same quality level. I would try to borrow some of both if possible.

AC terminations can also affect the sound of the DIY power cables.

The initial suggestion to contact VHAudio is a good one. Discuss the best choices for what you want to accomplish with your longer PC. He carries most of the best terminations as well as Oyaide and Neotech bulk cable. Don't know if he carries Furutech bulk cable.

Another excellent source for DIY cable supplies is Sonic Craft. I know they carry Neotech and Furutech bulk AC cable as well as most high quality AC terminations.

Hi Glai, I have used Furutech High End Performance series bulk wires with great results (PCs, ICs, speaker wires), until I later migrated to Furutech Flux, and more recently to Shunyata King Cobra CX. The Furutech High End Perf have easily exceeded the already impressive sonic/musical performance of the Furutech Evo II that I have reviewed on PFO issue 45:

Which in turn, I have easily preferred over none other than Nordost Odin for their relaxed resolution and musicality.

Furutech High End Performance bulk wires are IMO wonderful price performers. Can you do better? . . . Sure, but you may need to adopt some reasonably exotic wires. . , like Furutech PowerFlux, or IMO even more desirable, Shunyata King Cobra CX for example.

The wires can be custom cut, and even terminated directly by the importer:

Unfortunately, as I have not tried the Oyaide wires, I can't provide even the vaguest of comparative opinions. What I recommend though, is that you do not worry too much about the respective technologies, but you try out both wires. You never know what you might like better.
